WATCH: Fee Reimbursement Protest Rocks Assembly Premises
- BRS leaders stage protest, demand release of pending fee reimbursement funds
- Opposition slams Congress Govt, warns of intensified agitation
Hyderabad, March 23: The Assembly premises witnessed strong protests as BRS leaders raised their voice over pending fee reimbursement dues. BRS members staged a demonstration, demanding the immediate release of funds and accusing the Congress Govt of neglecting poor students.
The protest took place within the Assembly premises, where BRS MLAs and MLCs gathered in large numbers. They held placards and raised slogans against the government. They demanded that the pending fee reimbursement amount, said to be around Rs 12,000 crore, be released without delay. According to them, the delay is affecting students from weaker sections.
Meanwhile, Opposition leader in the Legislative Council, Madhusudhanachari, strongly criticised the government. He said the Revanth Reddy government is playing with the lives of all sections of people and is now pushing students into uncertainty. He expressed concern that delays in fee reimbursement are forcing many SC, ST, and BC students to stay away from higher education.
BRS leaders also highlighted the importance of the fee reimbursement scheme. They recalled that the scheme was started during the tenure of YS Rajasekhar Reddy and was later strengthened by the KCR government. They said the scheme helped many students pursue higher education and improve their future prospects.
However, the leaders alleged that the current government lacks commitment towards poor students. They warned that if the pending dues are not cleared immediately, protests will intensify across the state. Several BRS public representatives participated in the protest and raised slogans against the government.
